3 Common Mistakes Riders Make When Braking Fast 

...hello sir !! I adore ur channel !!. Do professional riders ( motogp, sbk) use counter steering technique at all the corners or is it something that they have to use at specific corners n conditions !!!????🤔🤔🤔🤔..plz reply master !!🙏🙏

This was the video I needed! Realized I was using too much rear break every time. And I caught myself looking down at the chalk lines. Also I was trying to downshift too and i think i was just doing too much trying to rush it like an idiot

Hahahaha love the jits analogy been training jiu for 20 years I am 43 hehe riding since I was 16. I am sending this video to a buddy that just stated ridding and it’s also a jits black belt 🥋 Osu!

Its great to go over your videos lots of times to get what you are teaching to become memory muscle as you say and to keep practising everything you're teaching thanks for all the great teaching and wisdom you share

Thanks Edward!

Big salute to your spirit!!!

@@ExploratoryBehaviour Thanks!

62 here....I got bit at 22; still keeping the rubber side down.

I am 42 and started to live my dream of riding speed bikes 😎

Yes!

@@MotoJitsu I get daily practice emergency braking due to high accidents on my commute. I didn't realize I learned to smoothly increase the front brake. Logically knowing that is key, especially with it being to cold to ride for a couple months. It'll improve my practice is riding gets back in season.

Awesome!

Ah no, that ain't right.

Who’s that?

@@MotoJitsu He's Batman..!!!

Lol I know...(sarcasm)

Hahaha i was thinking he reminds me of someone and you nailed it. Even sounds like him.

welcome! Thanks for watching & commenting! ❤️MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, merch, discounts, etc. 👍🏼

Hope you're having a blast getting back into riding, I'm starting my journey for the first time ;) stay safe man.

you're welcome!

Thanks Jay!

Ago long I teen young saw meeting my uncle he love motorcycle .. and I grow up love motorcycle good cool . I sad no good can't drive to car .

that key is to practice a lot....know exactly what to do

I downloaded your video to watch it while I’m on travel

Thanks! Share with others MotoJitsu.com

🥺👌💸💸🖤🌷 una you

Thanks 😊

You're welcome!

Thank you Ricky!

Thank you so much! Hopefully my channel/videos will keep getting shared so I can reach more people...the whole point of all of this is to inspire riders to wear full gear, take courses, and practice in order to reduce crashes on the public roads. Check out www.motojitsu.com too when you get a chance :)

I'm glad you practice and probably will practice more, but it's always judgment before skill. Don't go riding around on the highway when it's gusty and raining is probably a better idea.

I'm glad to hear they're so helpful!! :) Thank you :) Keep sharing the videos!! 200k by Christmas :)

Take a course...then go practice :)

for me i almost dont touch my rear brake. i only use it on slippery surfaces like when its raining or running over sand.

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 it does makes sense yea. but during emergency and extreme brakings when braking hard with the front the rear is at the edge of coming off the asphalt locks easily and very little braking power is available. but yea, technically i believe i still use 100 coz i still use the rear brake on slippery surfaces etc.

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 when you need to really stop asap mashing the rear and only then start to brake on the front takes quite some time, i prefer to go straight for the front where you immediately squeeze it progressively (a little faster than usual) it's the same thing, only quicker stopping. but yea whichever you prefer is good. so long as you have a quick reaction time to do things.

@@gnarthdarkanen7464 i totaly agree with you mate, spoken like a true biker. you ride safe mate.

You're welcome!

Thanks@!

You're welcome!

There are endless videos of people making these mistakes while riding

Mc rider is one of them

You too! Thanks!

Thank you! I'm glad my videos are helping so many people...good thing about MotoJitsu, it's designed so you can practice yourself! Start at White Belt and move up when you've mastered it. If you're ever in San Diego, or I there, get ahold of me! :)

Glad you enjoy it!

Now get to it!

You're welcome!

Thanks, will do! MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.

Yes! It works so well with the correct technique :)

Morley lol

I think the thumbs down are from people he has shat upon to sell product.

Thanks 😊

YES!! Thanks :)

Thanks

Everyone needs more practice emergency braking...you will only "go over" if you grab the brakes and if you have a sport bike or standard bike...like anything else, technique is the most important thing. It means your pressing too hard on the rear...the technique is start off with a little rear brake, then taper off.

Your rear tire is skidding even with ABS because ABS doesn't work well or at all under 20 MPH or so. Not enough wheel speed to analyze the data to control the brakes. When you practice in the carpark, focus on only using the front brake to get comfortable with it. The front now has so much weight on it from weight transfer, that makes it very difficult to skid as opposed to the rear wheel which is getting lighter due to the weight transferring forward also, this is why your front forks dive during heavy braking,,,weight transfer. A rear brake only rider WILL crash when you hit a corner too hot and use your rear brakes. The rear brakes will make your bike stand up in the corner, the exact opposite thing you want. That's why you really need to learn how to use your front brakes. When you are ready, learn the technique of "Trail Braking" into corners for safer entry / exit speeds. I'm sure Michael Keaton LOL has a video in the works for that if not already posted. 2018 CVO HD Street Glide.

I rely on technique over technology.

WHO CARES!?!

I have a video all about when I use the rear brake :) MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, discounts, etc.

And for many who don't have a dirt bike or a place to practice it...get your bike and go do emergency practice. MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, discounts, etc.

thanks

You're welcome...a lot of instructors only know the basic skills they teach and don't take additional training themselves..so they're limited in they're knowledge.

Thanks 👍

HA!! Join my Discord! www.motojitsu.com/discord

Right on target! He does!

On standard or sport bikes, yep!

Thanks!

You're welcome!!

Thanks!

You too!

:) You're welcome

hahahaha

Oh yeah lol

Braking is 1st priority.

@@MotoJitsu true.I heard you cover downshifting after I made comment,For some reason I make comments while watching video as if we were talking face to face.lol

Yes, it's a good idea to downshift while braking, but emergency braking, 1st is don't hit what's in front of you...2nd is to be in 1st gear before you stop.

You're welcome!

Thanks!

That’s why practicing the technique of emergency braking is so important.

@@MotoJitsu What surprises me is two things. First: why do you explain all this? Nobody gets a driving license, if they can't show these basic skills. You will never ever pass the test. So your instructor will teach you, till you got it perfect. How on earth can bikers not know this?! Two: in Europe every new bike has ABS. By law. Many newer bikes have it. I haven't watched the total video yet, but I checked the comments and no... not a word on ABS. The correct way to brake is exactly the same. But in panic, ABS makes things so much much easier. No blocked wheels. Full power braking.Why don't you even mention it? In the first minutes I think, hey and ABS? And then WTF send those losers to Germany to get a proper driver license. Afraid to brake, that's impossible. Suicide on two wheels. So I hope you will explain this video. This is so NOT the European biking world. The basic lessons include this emergency braking. Later you can do advanced trainings. The racers can do the circuit training, allroad lovers buy a GS and polish their skills to Paris Dakar levels, there is enduro and motocross. And tour bikers can join clubs. Or chapters. If you don't ride enough and need to work on your skills, the simple way is going to a commercial traffic school. Ask advice. Take a couple of lessons. But a biker who screws up like the examples you gave? I really hope you just exagerate the bad habits.

@@voornaam3191 You think a basic course doing these techniques after 20 mins is enough to perfect something? You're insane. It takes thousands of hours practicing in order to master something like emergency braking. I'm an instructor... I've been teaching the basic through advanced level motorcycle training since 2014. Hardly anyone practices enough. Most people rarely practice this at all. Just because a bike has ABS that doesn't mean you disregard technique, that's stupid. Technique over technology...what if it fails on you? Doesn't work properly? You're screwed. Swerving, emergency braking, low-speed turning, cornering, etc are all taught in the basic course, but so what...no one can master any of it in a couple days. Out of all the classes I've taught, and students I've helped get better at braking, these are the top 3 mistakes everyone makes. This video is bringing to light my experience so people can take more courses and practice.

@@MotoJitsu Yes, I wrote too early, should have watched the rest first. Sorry, I wasted your time... Now I'm half way, and it's great. You remind me of one book I bought, that changed my way of riding my bike. Just touring, and my skills are not top notch, but I know my limits and practice some important things every ride. The book is Bernt Spiegels "The top half of the motorcycle" (mine is the German original). Spiegel is a racer, and a university prof in man machine interface, and psychology. He is also the man who invented the word niche in market psychology. The great thing of this book, is that all the aspects of riding bikes are explained very clear, with lots and lots of excersizes you should do. Theory and practise combined brilliantly. You have circuit experience, so most of this book you certainly know inside out. He has writen a book for racers too, by the way. Just because I like his style so much, my advice was to Google this Bernt Spiegel, you might enjoy his exersizes and way of teaching. Only thing is, Spiegel is born in 1926, so he's an oldtimer of 92 now. But his books on bikes are timeless. I promise, it's no waste of time...

Yes, helps to watch the entire video first.

I know..depends on the speed, I'm going more than 25mph, I'll probably swerve.

nice!!! Thank you

Thanks Raj!

Thanks, nope!

Guy Martin all the way.

Who are you Samir, the fashion police? Why don't you listen instead of worrying about his hair. On second thought, don't listen and your lack of braking skills will permanently end any future comment you might have.

@@johnheitz4720 My apologies if it offended you. It was a light hearted joke as his hair in earlier videos was always cropped short. If you're watching his videos as keenly as me, you're a fellow biker and we should stick together especially on matters of safety. I hope my lack of braking skills doesn't kill me and once again my apologies if I have offended you or anyone else, it was just an off the cuff comment. Ride safe.

i dont see a hairline 😱😂😂

:)

Yes, they should and practice weekly!! Life saving skill to master.

@@MotoJitsu I'm slowly going through them my friend getting prepared before I've even sat on a motor bike. So far I'm happy with my mountain bike lol. But so tempting to see how riding a motor bike feels.

Take the course my friend and see :)

Thanks!

You're welcome...now go practice!!

Awesome!

Yes, we teach people to move their butt back and get their upper body lower to the tank before emergency braking, however that wasn't within the scope of this video. I made another video about how to stop fast and I also didn't mention it because these 3 mistakes are more important to master first, based on my experience.

It has a little power...not much.

It does a little I don't often use mine tbh I ride the front brake quite hard

When confident people take a bike on track abs is usually disabled from what I understand

Thanks!

Don't wait for the next close call!!! Go practice weekly, minimum :) MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, merch, etc. :)
